FEEDING YOUR RABBIT


 

When feeding your new bunny you it will go home with you as a baby, it's food should be unlimited till its 6 months at that time start to cut back the food . Here are the amounts to feed your bunny : If your bring home an adult bunny use the amounts for 6 months and over ,below. For chewing apple twigs work well if you have an apple tree you can use that,  just make sure the tree isn't diseased & use small pieces. Remember not to overfeed your rabbit!! Rabbits are adults at 6 months! These are some of the breeds listed below.

Don't start your bunnies on vegetables till its 5 months  old if you see loose stools stop. Make sure your bunnie has fresh water at all times and alfalfa hay till its 5 months timothy hay 6 months and up. For the best protein level choose feed that is between 16-18%  I use purina show formula on my rabbit.
